Server Wild Dino Resistance and Damage Modifiers
The modifiers listed below are 'tuned' by the Ark internal base stats for each Dino in accordance with the Dev Kit. We believe this is a more realistic representation of dinosaurs and also counters the gross off balance of Wild v Tamed currently existing in Vanilla Ark.
We do not use any blanket modifiers on top of these stats such as Veteran or Champion settings listed throughou the Ark discussion boards like below:
Originally posted by Steam Ark Forums:
*CHAMPION SETTINGS* (high challenge, for very experienced players looking for high challenge)
DifficultyOffset=1.0
DinoDamageMultiplier=3.0000
DinoResistanceMultiplier=0.333
PlayerDamageMultiplier=3.000
PlayerResistanceMultiplier=0.333
DinoCharacterHealthRecoveryMultiplier=2.00
(all other combat stats vanilla)
Those settings, though challenging, misrepresent the dino. Blanket modifiers like this mean that the Dilo, Ants, Rex's, Parasaurs, et. all will do 3x more damage across the board - coupled with a reduced player resistance multiplier. Such settings do make dino's more dangerous, but hardly with any accuracy or reflection of that dino itself.
With our settings:
A L8 Trike will kill you with 1 hit if you have less than 150 health or so.
A L80 Sabertooth will have a difficult time killing a L40 Carno.
A L80 Sabertooth cannot kill a L68 Carno unless you level it exclusively for melee/health and have a minimum of a Ramshackle or Apprentice Saddle and having tested this with a ramshackle saddle and evenly leveled saber, I would not try it
